            Bug ID: 357965
           Summary: [Regression] Konsole does not allow its hotkey to
                    show/hide Konsole (à la Yakuake, Kuake, Guake, Tilda,
                    the "terminal emulator" present in Quake and other
                    games, etc.)
           Product: konsole
           Version: 15.08.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kubry at gmx.com

[Regression] Konsole does not allow its hotkey to show/hide Konsole (à la
Yakuake, Kuake, Guake, Tilda, the "terminal emulator" present in Quake and
other games, etc.). That functionality is known as the "background mode" of
Konsole.

Previously, a real Konsole survey was done. It was answered by more than 8000
people and the background mode was developed because of this. Robert Knight, a
former main developer of Konsole, wrote in
http://kdemonkey.blogspot.com.es/2007/04/easter-holiday-terminal-update.html:
